Mini PaveKit addresses limited laboratory access that restricts students' practical understanding of pavement engineering. A portable classroom kit was developed using premeasured aggregates, bitumen, POFA, garnet waste, sawdust, a mini induction stove, mould, and tamper to simulate asphalt mixing and compaction. Evaluation involving 150 students and five lecturers demonstrated over 60% improvement in learning outcomes, significant engagement, stronger confidence, and universal acceptance, with 100% preferring Mini PaveKit over conventional instruction. Mini PaveKit effectively bridges theory and practice, supports sustainable engineering education, and offers strong commercialization potential with myIPO copyright CRLY2026C02714 while reducing costs, enhancing accessibility, improving teaching effectiveness across engineering institutions.
